I have a 55 gal saltwater tank that I have had up and running for about a week. The water has been crystal clear then today out of the return hose is what looks like air bubbles is coming which has made my water very cloudy any ideas I would appreciate it!!!

More than likely it is oxygen gas dissloving into the tank - 100% normal for new set ups. Ths is also a very common occurance when cool water meets warm water or warmer air.
more details? what kind of filtration, pumps, skimmer? sounds like a skimmer thats dirty or not in tune. or dirty filter media? if it has a sump are their any baffles in the sump, if yes possibly too much or too little water in the sump. if not then it sounds like the sump water level is too low and the return is too close to the overflow. i build a live rock wall in my sumps to act some what as a baffle and a wave break while also adding to bio filter.
